5c7624a69e test: migrate app-server v2 starts to auto env (#31614)
## Why

We should be running as many integrations tests as possible against the
split cross-OS configuration.

## What

- migrate eligible thread starts and builders to auto env
- keep explicit custom/local-executor cases local with rationale
comments
- keep auto-env coverage where possible and add narrow `TODO(anp)` skips
for fixtures that are not target-native yet

dbd2df27d1 test: migrate TestAppServer callers to builder (#31451)
## Why

Keep the TestAppServer builder API change reviewable by moving the
repository-wide caller migration into a mechanical follow-up.

## What

- replace TestAppServer constructor callsites with equivalent builder
chains
- preserve each caller's automatic-environment, args, program, env,
managed-config, plugin-startup, and JSON-logging behavior
- make no TestAppServer implementation changes

## Validation

- cargo check -p codex-app-server --tests

## Cleanup stack

81b000421d Add config toggles for orchestrator skills and MCP (#28942)
## Why

Orchestrator-provided skills and Codex Apps MCP tools add model-visible
instructions, resources, and tools beyond the local workspace. Hosts
need config-level switches to disable those orchestrator-owned surfaces
independently, without disabling regular skills or regular MCP servers.

## What changed

- Adds `[orchestrator.skills].enabled` and `[orchestrator.mcp].enabled`
config entries, both defaulting to `true`.
- Includes the new settings in `config.schema.json` and in the config
lock so resolved thread configuration preserves the same orchestrator
exposure decisions.
- Threads `orchestrator.skills.enabled` through the app-server skills
extension so disabled orchestrator skills do not expose the `skills`
namespace or inject orchestrator skill context.
- Gates Codex Apps MCP exposure, app instructions, and app auth
eligibility on `orchestrator.mcp.enabled` while leaving non-Codex-Apps
MCP tools available.
- Updates the thread-manager sample config to disable both
orchestrator-owned surfaces.

## Verification

- Added config parsing, loading, defaulting, and schema coverage for the
new settings.
- Added MCP exposure coverage that `orchestrator.mcp.enabled = false`
removes Codex Apps tools while preserving regular MCP tools.
- Added app-server coverage that `orchestrator.skills.enabled = false`
prevents orchestrator skill tools, prompts, and resource reads from
reaching the model turn.

0afe559318 skills: cache orchestrator resources per thread (#28336)
## Why

Hosted orchestrator skills are read through the remote MCP resource
server. Within one thread, the same catalog or skill resource can be
requested multiple times by prompt injection and the `skills.list` /
`skills.read` tools. Re-fetching adds latency and can make those
surfaces observe different remote contents during the same thread.

This is a follow-up to #28333: orchestrator skills remain limited to
threads without a local executor, and those threads now get a stable
per-thread view of the remote skill data they use.

## What changed

- Reuse the existing per-thread orchestrator catalog snapshot for
`skills.list` and `skills.read` availability checks.
- Cache successful orchestrator resource reads by authority, package,
and resource so prompt injection and tool calls share the same contents.
- Keep the cache memory-only and bounded to 100 resources and 8 MiB per
thread.
- Leave host and executor skill reads unchanged, and do not cache failed
remote reads.

## Verification

- Extended the app-server MCP resource integration test to read the same
hosted skill resource twice and verify that the remote server receives
one read.
- The same test verifies that catalog discovery and the selected skill's
main prompt are each fetched only once per thread.

6d9df687a5 skills: hide orchestrator skills with a local executor (#28333)
## Why

App-server threads without a local executor need orchestrator-owned
skills from the hosted `codex_apps` MCP server. Threads with the local
executor already discover installed skills from the local filesystem.

After the orchestrator skill provider was enabled for every app-server
thread, local-executor threads also received the hosted skill catalog
and the `skills.list` and `skills.read` tools. This changed the existing
local behavior and could expose a second hosted copy of a skill that was
already installed locally.

## What changed

- Expose the thread's selected execution environments to extensions at
thread startup.
- Enable orchestrator skills only when the reserved local environment is
not selected.
- Apply that decision consistently to hosted skill catalog discovery,
explicit skill injection, and the `skills.list` and `skills.read` tools.

## Verification

- The existing no-executor app-server test continues to verify hosted
skill discovery, invocation, and child-resource reads.
- A new app-server test verifies that local-executor threads do not
receive hosted skill context or `skills.*` tools.

c8c78b63a7 Activate selected executor plugin MCPs in app-server (#27893)
## Why

#27870 teaches the MCP extension how to discover stdio MCP servers
declared by a selected executor plugin, but app-server does not yet
install that contributor or initialize its per-thread state. As a
result, `thread/start.selectedCapabilityRoots` can select the plugin
while its MCP servers remain inactive.

This PR closes that app-server wiring gap:

```text
thread/start(selectedCapabilityRoots)
    -> initialize the thread's selected-plugin MCP snapshot
    -> read the selected plugin's .mcp.json through its environment
    -> start declared stdio servers in that environment
    -> expose their tools only on the selected thread
```

## What changed

- Install the selected-executor-plugin MCP contributor in app-server
using the existing shared `EnvironmentManager`.
- Initialize its frozen thread snapshot when `thread/start` includes
selected capability roots.
- Document that selected plugin stdio MCPs are activated in their owning
environment.
- Add an app-server E2E covering the complete selection-to-tool-call
path.

The E2E verifies that:

- the selected MCP process receives an executor-only environment value,
proving the tool runs through the selected environment;
- the MCP tool is advertised to the model and can be called;
- a normal MCP config reload does not discard the thread's frozen
selected-plugin registration;
- another thread without the selected root does not see the MCP server.

## Scope

- Existing sessions without `selectedCapabilityRoots` are unchanged.
- Only stdio MCP declarations are activated. HTTP declarations remain
inactive.
- This does not change selected-root persistence across resume/fork or
add hosted-plugin behavior.

## Verification

- Focused app-server E2E:
`selected_executor_plugin_exposes_its_stdio_mcp_only_to_that_thread`

4322e01d2b skills: render catalog locators by authority (#27591)
## Why

Hosted skills introduced by #27388 use opaque `skill://` resource
identifiers, but the skills catalog rendered every locator as a `file`
and told the model that every skill body lived on disk. That can send
the model toward filesystem tools for a resource that must instead be
read through its owning authority.

The catalog should describe how each source is accessed without changing
the underlying discovery or invocation behavior.

## What changed

- Render host skills as `file`, executor-owned skills as `environment
resource`, orchestrator-owned skills as `orchestrator resource`, and
custom-provider skills as `custom resource`.
- Update the shared no-alias guidance to describe source locators rather
than assuming every skill is stored on the host filesystem.
- Direct orchestrator resources through `skills.list` and `skills.read`,
and explicitly tell the model not to treat `skill://` identifiers as
filesystem paths.
- Preserve the existing filesystem and alias behavior for local skills.

## Scope

This PR changes only model-visible catalog rendering and guidance. It
does not change skill discovery, selection, prompt injection, provider
routing, catalog caching or refresh behavior, resource validation, or
the `skills.*` tool contract.

## Verification

- Extended skills-extension coverage for host-file and executor-resource
labels.
- Extended the no-executor app-server flow to assert
orchestrator-resource wording and non-filesystem guidance.

dd46ef1aac test: cover referenced backend skill reads without an executor (#27404)
## Why

PR #27388 lets models read child resources referenced by backend plugin
skills without an executor. The integration fixture should prove that
real flow: the injected `SKILL.md` advertises a child `skill://`
resource, and `skills.read` resolves that exact resource through the
backend provider.

This is stacked on #27388.

## What changed

- Adds a child-resource link to the backend skill fixture and asserts
that it reaches model context.
- Tightens the end-to-end skills test around `skills.list` followed by
`skills.read` for the referenced resource.
- Splits the existing app-server `mcpResource/read` coverage into a
focused test so the generic RPC path remains covered independently.

## Validation

- Adds app-server integration coverage for both the referenced backend
skill resource and the generic MCP resource read path.

7b3eb8e4bc skills: expose remote skill resource tools (#27388)
## Why

PR #27387 makes backend plugin skills discoverable and invocable without
an executor, but resources referenced by those skills still sit behind
the generic MCP resource surface. The model needs a skills-owned API
that preserves the provider authority and package boundary instead of
treating remote resources like local files.

This is stacked on #27387.

## What

- Adds one `skills` namespace with bounded `list` and `read` tools for
remote skill providers.
- Revalidates `authority + package` against the live remote catalog on
every read, then routes the opaque resource ID back through that
provider.
- Allows the backend provider to read canonical child `skill://`
resources while rejecting cross-package, non-canonical, query, fragment,
and traversal-shaped URIs.
- Caps each serialized tool result at 8 KB. Lists are paginated; reads
return an opaque continuation cursor.
- Marks the JSON output as external context so memory generation can
apply its normal suppression policy.
- Deliberately does not add `skills.search`; that waits for a bounded
plugin-service search contract.

## Tool contract

Pseudo-Python matching the wire shape:

```python
from typing import Literal, NotRequired, TypedDict


class RemoteSkillAuthority(TypedDict):
    kind: Literal["remote"]
    id: str  # e.g. "codex_apps"


class RemoteSkill(TypedDict):
    authority: RemoteSkillAuthority
    package: str  # opaque provider-owned package ID
    name: str
    description: str
    main_resource: str  # opaque provider-owned SKILL.md ID


class SkillsListParams(TypedDict):
    cursor: NotRequired[str]


class SkillsListResult(TypedDict):
    skills: list[RemoteSkill]
    next_cursor: str | None
    warnings: list[str]
    truncated: bool


class SkillsReadParams(TypedDict):
    authority: RemoteSkillAuthority  # copied from skills.list
    package: str  # copied from skills.list
    resource: str  # provider-owned child resource ID
    cursor: NotRequired[str]  # copy next_cursor to continue


class SkillsReadResult(TypedDict):
    resource: str
    contents: str
    next_cursor: str | None
    truncated: bool


class Skills:
    def list(self, params: SkillsListParams) -> SkillsListResult: ...
    def read(self, params: SkillsReadParams) -> SkillsReadResult: ...
```

There is one namespace for all remote skills, not one tool or MCP server
per skill. No resource ID is converted into a filesystem path.

## Backend dependency

`/ps/mcp` must support direct reads of child resources such as
`skill://plugin_demo/deploy/references/deploy.md`. This PR implements
and tests the Codex side of that contract; production child reads remain
dependent on the corresponding plugin-service support. Search remains
out of scope until that service exposes a bounded search/resource API.

## Validation

- Added an app-server integration test covering `skills.list` followed
by `skills.read` with no executor.
- Ran `just fmt`.
- Ran `just bazel-lock-update` and `just bazel-lock-check`.
- Did not run Rust tests or Clippy locally, per request; CI will run
them.

a287c5dffd skills: make backend plugin skills invocable without an executor (#27387)
## Why

#27198 made the extension-owned `codex_apps` MCP connection the hosted
plugin runtime, but its `mcp/skill` resources still bypassed the skills
extension. App-server could list and read those resources through
generic MCP APIs, but a thread with no selected environment did not
expose them in the model's skills catalog or load their `SKILL.md`
through `$skill`.

Hosted skills should stay remote while using the same typed catalog,
source authority, deduplication, bounded contextual catalog, and
selected-skill prompt injection as host and executor skills. They should
not be downloaded or exposed as ambient filesystem paths.

## What changed

- Add a session-scoped `McpResourceClient` over the replaceable MCP
connection manager so resource list/read calls follow startup and
refresh replacements.
- Add a `BackendSkillProvider` that pages `codex_apps` resources,
accepts bounded and validated `mcp/skill` entries, and reads a selected
skill's `SKILL.md` through the same MCP connection.
- Register the remote provider in app-server and include it in the
skills catalog even when a thread has no selected capability roots or
executor.
- Contribute hosted skill metadata through the bounded
`AvailableSkillsInstructions` developer-context path, exclude remote
entries from per-turn catalog injection, and classify `<skills>`
messages as contextual developer content so rollback can trim and
rebuild them correctly.

## Testing

- Extend the app-server MCP resource integration test with
`environments: []` to exercise two-page discovery, filter a
non-`mcp/skill` resource, verify the escaped developer catalog entry and
user-role `<skill>` fragment containing the fetched `SKILL.md`, and
preserve generic MCP resource reads.
- Add core event-mapping coverage that classifies `<skills>` developer
messages as contextual history.

9cd11e9e62 Use plugin-service MCP as the hosted plugin runtime (#27198)
## Stack

- Base: #27191
- This PR is the third vertical and should be reviewed against
`jif/external-plugins-2`, not `main`.

## Why

#27191 moves the host-owned Apps MCP registration behind an extension
contributor, but deliberately preserves the existing endpoint-selection
feature while that contribution contract lands. App-server can therefore
resolve the server through extensions, yet the hosted plugin endpoint is
still selected through temporary `apps_mcp_path_override` plumbing.

That is not the long-term plugin model. A plugin can bundle skills,
connectors, MCP servers, and hooks, and those components do not all need
the same source or execution environment. In particular, an
authenticated HTTP MCP server can expose plugin capabilities directly
from a backend without an executor or an orchestrator filesystem.

This PR completes that hosted vertical. App-server's MCP extension now
owns the aggregate hosted plugin runtime at `/ps/mcp`. Connector actions
continue to arrive as MCP tools, while backend-provided skills arrive as
MCP resources and use Codex's existing resource list/read paths. No
second backend client, skill filesystem, or generic plugin activation
framework is introduced.

The backend route remains the hosted implementation. This change
replaces Codex's temporary endpoint-selection mechanism, not the service
behind the endpoint.

## What changed

### Hosted plugin runtime

The MCP extension now contributes `codex_apps` as the hosted plugin
runtime rather than as a configurable Apps endpoint:

- `https://chatgpt.com` resolves to
`https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/ps/mcp`;
- a bare custom ChatGPT base resolves to `/api/codex/ps/mcp`;
- the existing product-SKU header and ChatGPT authentication behavior
are preserved;
- executor availability is never consulted for this streamable HTTP
transport.

The same MCP connection carries both component shapes supported by the
hosted endpoint:

- connector actions are discovered and invoked as MCP tools;
- hosted skills are enumerated and read as MCP resources through the
existing `list_mcp_resources` and `read_mcp_resource` paths.

This keeps component access in the subsystem that already owns the
protocol instead of downloading backend skills into an orchestrator
filesystem or inventing a parallel hosted-skill client.

### Explicit runtime ordering

`McpManager` now resolves the reserved `codex_apps` entry in three
ordered phases:

1. install the legacy Apps fallback for compatibility;
2. apply ordered extension `Set` or `Remove` overlays;
3. apply the final ChatGPT-auth gate without synthesizing the server
again.

This ordering is important:

- an ordinary configured or plugin MCP server cannot claim the
auth-bearing `codex_apps` name;
- an extension-contributed hosted runtime wins over the fallback;
- an extension `Remove` remains authoritative;
- a host without the MCP extension retains the legacy Apps endpoint and
current local-only behavior.

The temporary `legacy_apps_mcp_loader_enabled` coordination flag is no
longer needed.

### Remove the path override

The `apps_mcp_path_override` feature and its runtime plumbing are
removed, including:

- the feature registry entry and structured feature config;
- `Config` and `McpConfig` fields;
- config schema output;
- config-lock materialization;
- URL override handling in `codex-mcp`.

Existing boolean and structured forms still deserialize as ignored
compatibility input. They are omitted from new serialized config, and
config-lock comparison normalizes the removed input so older locks
remain replayable.

### App-server coverage

App-server MCP fixtures now serve the hosted route at
`/api/codex/ps/mcp`. Existing resource-read and tool/elicitation flows
therefore exercise the extension-owned endpoint rather than succeeding
through the legacy fallback.

The stack also adds the missing `codex_chatgpt::connectors` re-export
for the manager-backed connector helper introduced in #27191.

## Compatibility

- App-server installs the extension and uses `/ps/mcp` for the hosted
runtime.
- CLI and other hosts that do not install the extension retain the
legacy Apps endpoint.
- Apps disabled or non-ChatGPT authentication removes `codex_apps` from
the effective runtime view.
- Existing local plugins, local skills, executor-selected skills,
configured MCP servers, and MCP OAuth behavior are otherwise unchanged.
- Backend plugin enablement remains account/workspace state owned by the
hosted endpoint; this PR does not add thread-local backend plugin
selection.

## Architectural fit

The stack now proves two independent runtime shapes:

1. #27184 resolves filesystem-backed skills through the executor that
owns a selected root.
2. #27191 and this PR resolve a backend-hosted HTTP MCP through an
extension with no executor.

Together they preserve the intended separation:

- selection identifies a plugin/root when explicit selection is needed;
- each component's owning extension resolves its concrete access
mechanism;
- execution stays with the runtime required by that component;
- existing skills, MCP, connector, and hook subsystems remain the
downstream consumers.

## Planned follow-ups

1. **Executor stdio MCP:** selecting an executor plugin registers a
manifest-declared stdio MCP server and executes it in the environment
that owns the plugin.
2. **Optional backend selection:** only if CCA needs thread-local
selection distinct from backend account/workspace enablement, add a
concrete backend-owned capability location and surface those selected
skills through the skills catalog.
3. **Connector metadata and hooks:** activate those plugin components
through their existing owning subsystems, with executor hooks remaining
environment-bound.
4. **Propagation and persistence:** define explicit resume, fork,
subagent, refresh, and environment-removal semantics once selected roots
have multiple real consumers.
5. **Local convergence:** migrate legacy local skill, MCP, connector,
and hook paths behind their owning extensions one vertical at a time,
then remove duplicate core managers and compatibility plumbing after
parity.

## Verification

Coverage in this change exercises:

- extension-owned `/backend-api/ps/mcp` registration without an
executor;
- preservation of the legacy endpoint in hosts without the extension;
- extension `Set` and `Remove` precedence over the legacy fallback;
- ChatGPT-auth gating for the reserved server;
- hosted MCP resource reads with and without an active thread;
- connector tool invocation and MCP elicitation through the hosted
route;
- ignored boolean and structured forms of the removed path override;
- config-lock replay compatibility for the removed feature.

`cargo check -p codex-features -p codex-mcp-extension -p

the current development instruction; CI provides the full validation
pass.

d45cd26248 Switch runtime to cloud config bundle (#24622)
## Summary

- Adapts the moved `codex-cloud-config` crate from the legacy cloud
requirements endpoint to the new config bundle endpoint.
- Switches runtime consumers from `CloudRequirementsLoader` to
`CloudConfigBundleLoader` so one shared bundle supplies cloud-delivered
config and requirements.
- Removes the legacy cloud requirements domain loader path.

## Details

This intentionally keeps `codex-cloud-config` monolithic for review
lineage: the previous PR establishes the crate move, and this PR shows
the behavior change against that moved implementation. A follow-up PR
splits the module back into focused files.

The new bundle path preserves the important cloud requirements loader
semantics where intended: account-scoped signed cache, 30 minute TTL, 5
minute refresh cadence, retry/backoff, auth recovery, and fail-closed
startup loading. The cached payload changes from a single requirements
TOML string to the backend-delivered bundle, and validation rejects
malformed config or requirements fragments before cache write/use.

889ee018e7 config: add strict config parsing (#20559)
## Why

Codex intentionally ignores unknown `config.toml` fields by default so
older and newer config files keep working across versions. That leniency
also makes typo detection hard because misspelled or misplaced keys
disappear silently.

This change adds an opt-in strict config mode so users and tooling can
fail fast on unrecognized config fields without changing the default
permissive behavior.

This feature is possible because `serde_ignored` exposes the exact
signal Codex needs: it lets Codex run ordinary Serde deserialization
while recording fields Serde would otherwise ignore. That avoids
requiring `#[serde(deny_unknown_fields)]` across every config type and
keeps strict validation opt-in around the existing config model.

## What Changed

### Added strict config validation

- Added `serde_ignored`-based validation for `ConfigToml` in
`codex-rs/config/src/strict_config.rs`.
- Combined `serde_ignored` with `serde_path_to_error` so strict mode
preserves typed config error paths while also collecting fields Serde
would otherwise ignore.
- Added strict-mode validation for unknown `[features]` keys, including
keys that would otherwise be accepted by `FeaturesToml`'s flattened
boolean map.
- Kept typed config errors ahead of ignored-field reporting, so
malformed known fields are reported before unknown-field diagnostics.
- Added source-range diagnostics for top-level and nested unknown config
fields, including non-file managed preference source names.

### Kept parsing single-pass per source

- Reworked file and managed-config loading so strict validation reuses
the already parsed `TomlValue` for that source.
- For actual config files and managed config strings, the loader now
reads once, parses once, and validates that same parsed value instead of
deserializing multiple times.
- Validated `-c` / `--config` override layers with the same
base-directory context used for normal relative-path resolution, so
unknown override keys are still reported when another override contains
a relative path.

### Scoped `--strict-config` to config-heavy entry points

- Added support for `--strict-config` on the main config-loading entry
points where it is most useful:
  - `codex`
  - `codex resume`
  - `codex fork`
  - `codex exec`
  - `codex review`
  - `codex mcp-server`
  - `codex app-server` when running the server itself
  - the standalone `codex-app-server` binary
  - the standalone `codex-exec` binary
- Commands outside that set now reject `--strict-config` early with
targeted errors instead of accepting it everywhere through shared CLI
plumbing.
- `codex app-server` subcommands such as `proxy`, `daemon`, and
`generate-*` are intentionally excluded from the first rollout.
- When app-server strict mode sees invalid config, app-server exits with
the config error instead of logging a warning and continuing with
defaults.
- Introduced a dedicated `ReviewCommand` wrapper in `codex-rs/cli`
instead of extending shared `ReviewArgs`, so `--strict-config` stays on
the outer config-loading command surface and does not become part of the
reusable review payload used by `codex exec review`.

### Coverage

- Added tests for top-level and nested unknown config fields, unknown
`[features]` keys, typed-error precedence, source-location reporting,
and non-file managed preference source names.
- Added CLI coverage showing invalid `--enable`, invalid `--disable`,
and unknown `-c` overrides still error when `--strict-config` is
present, including compound-looking feature names such as
`multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`.
- Added integration coverage showing both `codex app-server
--strict-config` and standalone `codex-app-server --strict-config` exit
with an error for unknown config fields instead of starting with
fallback defaults.
- Added coverage showing unsupported command surfaces reject
`--strict-config` with explicit errors.

## Example Usage

Run Codex with strict config validation enabled:

```shell
codex --strict-config
```

Strict config mode is also available on the supported config-heavy
subcommands:

```shell
codex --strict-config exec "explain this repository"
codex review --strict-config --uncommitted
codex mcp-server --strict-config
codex app-server --strict-config --listen off
codex-app-server --strict-config --listen off
```

For example, if `~/.codex/config.toml` contains a typo in a key name:

```toml
model = "gpt-5"
approval_polic = "on-request"
```

then `codex --strict-config` reports the misspelled key instead of
silently ignoring it. The path is shortened to `~` here for readability:

```text
$ codex --strict-config
Error loading config.toml:
~/.codex/config.toml:2:1: unknown configuration field `approval_polic`
  |
2 | approval_polic = "on-request"
  | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
```

Without `--strict-config`, Codex keeps the existing permissive behavior
and ignores the unknown key.

Strict config mode also validates ad-hoc `-c` / `--config` overrides:

```text
$ codex --strict-config -c foo=bar
Error: unknown configuration field `foo` in -c/--config override

$ codex --strict-config -c features.foo=true
Error: unknown configuration field `features.foo` in -c/--config override
```

Invalid feature toggles are rejected too, including values that look
like nested config paths:

```text
$ codex --strict-config --enable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist

$ codex --strict-config --disable does_not_exist
Error: Unknown feature flag: does_not_exist

$ codex --strict-config --enable multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
Error: Unknown feature flag: multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text
```

Unsupported commands reject the flag explicitly:

```text
$ codex --strict-config cloud list
Error: `--strict-config` is not supported for `codex cloud`
```

## Verification

The `codex-cli` `strict_config` tests cover invalid `--enable`, invalid
`--disable`, the compound `multi_agent_v2.subagent_usage_hint_text`
case, unknown `-c` overrides, app-server strict startup failure through
`codex app-server`, and rejection for unsupported commands such as
`codex cloud`, `codex mcp`, `codex remote-control`, and `codex
app-server proxy`.

The config and config-loader tests cover unknown top-level fields,
unknown nested fields, unknown `[features]` keys, source-location
reporting, non-file managed config sources, and `-c` validation for keys
such as `features.foo`.

The app-server test suite covers standalone `codex-app-server
--strict-config` startup failure for an unknown config field.

## Documentation

The Codex CLI docs on developers.openai.com/codex should mention
`--strict-config` as an opt-in validation mode for supported
config-heavy entry points once this ships.

4d201e340e state: pass state db handles through consumers (#20561)
## Why

SQLite state was still being opened from consumer paths, including lazy
`OnceCell`-backed thread-store call sites. That let one process
construct multiple state DB connections for the same Codex home, which
makes SQLite lock contention and `database is locked` failures much
easier to hit.

State DB lifetime should be chosen by main-like entrypoints and tests,
then passed through explicitly. Consumers should use the supplied
`Option<StateDbHandle>` or `StateDbHandle` and keep their existing
filesystem fallback or error behavior when no handle is available.

The startup path also needs to keep the rollout crate in charge of
SQLite state initialization. Opening `codex_state::StateRuntime`
directly bypasses rollout metadata backfill, so entrypoints should
initialize through `codex_rollout::state_db` and receive a handle only
after required rollout backfills have completed.

## What Changed

- Initialize the state DB in main-like entrypoints for CLI, TUI,
app-server, exec, MCP server, and the thread-manager sample.
- Pass `Option<StateDbHandle>` through `ThreadManager`,
`LocalThreadStore`, app-server processors, TUI app wiring, rollout
listing/recording, personality migration, shell snapshot cleanup,
session-name lookup, and memory/device-key consumers.
- Remove the lazy local state DB wrapper from the thread store so
non-test consumers use only the supplied handle or their existing
fallback path.
- Make `codex_rollout::state_db::init` the local state startup path: it
opens/migrates SQLite, runs rollout metadata backfill when needed, waits
for concurrent backfill workers up to a bounded timeout, verifies
completion, and then returns the initialized handle.
- Keep optional/non-owning SQLite helpers, such as remote TUI local
reads, as open-only paths that do not run startup backfill.
- Switch app-server startup from direct
`codex_state::StateRuntime::init` to the rollout state initializer so
app-server cannot skip rollout backfill.
- Collapse split rollout lookup/list APIs so callers use the normal
methods with an optional state handle instead of `_with_state_db`
variants.
- Restore `getConversationSummary(ThreadId)` to delegate through
`ThreadStore::read_thread` instead of a LocalThreadStore-specific
rollout path special case.
- Keep DB-backed rollout path lookup keyed on the DB row and file
existence, without imposing the filesystem filename convention on
existing DB rows.
- Verify readable DB-backed rollout paths against `session_meta.id`
before returning them, so a stale SQLite row that points at another
thread's JSONL falls back to filesystem search and read-repairs the DB
row.
- Keep `debug prompt-input` filesystem-only so a one-off debug command
does not initialize or backfill SQLite state just to print prompt input.
- Keep goal-session test Codex homes alive only in the goal-specific
helper, rather than leaking tempdirs from the shared session test
helper.
- Update tests and call sites to pass explicit state handles where DB
behavior is expected and explicit `None` where filesystem-only behavior
is intended.

Focused coverage added in `codex-rollout`:

- `recorder::tests::state_db_init_backfills_before_returning` verifies
the rollout metadata row exists before startup init returns.
- `state_db::tests::try_init_waits_for_concurrent_startup_backfill`
verifies startup waits for another worker to finish backfill instead of
disabling the handle for the process.
-
`state_db::tests::try_init_times_out_waiting_for_stuck_startup_backfill`
verifies startup does not hang indefinitely on a stuck backfill lease.
-
`tests::find_thread_path_accepts_existing_state_db_path_without_canonical_filename`
verifies DB-backed lookup accepts valid existing rollout paths even when
the filename does not include the thread UUID.
-
`tests::find_thread_path_falls_back_when_db_path_points_to_another_thread`
verifies DB-backed lookup ignores a stale row whose existing path
belongs to another thread and read-repairs the row after filesystem
fallback.

Focused coverage updated in `codex-core`:

- `rollout_list_find::find_prefers_sqlite_path_by_id` now uses a
DB-preferred rollout file with matching `session_meta.id`, so it still
verifies that valid SQLite paths win without depending on stale/empty
rollout contents.

`cargo test -p codex-app-server thread_list_respects_search_term_filter
-- --test-threads=1 --nocapture` was attempted locally but timed out
waiting for the app-server test harness `initialize` response before
reaching the changed thread-list code path.

`bazel test //codex-rs/thread-store:thread-store-unit-tests
--test_output=errors` was attempted locally after the thread-store fix,
but this container failed before target analysis while fetching `v8+`
through BuildBuddy/direct GitHub. The equivalent local crate coverage,
including `cargo test -p codex-thread-store`, passes.

A plain local `cargo check -p codex-rollout -p codex-app-server --tests`
also requires system `libcap.pc` for `codex-linux-sandbox`; the
follow-up app-server check above used `CODEX_SKIP_VENDORED_BWRAP=1` in
this container.

9c3abcd46c [codex] Move config loading into codex-config (#19487)
## Why

Config loading had become split across crates: `codex-config` owned the
config types and merge logic, while `codex-core` still owned the loader
that assembled the layer stack. This change consolidates that
responsibility in `codex-config`, so the crate that defines config
behavior also owns how configs are discovered and loaded.

To make that move possible without reintroducing the old dependency
cycle, the shell-environment policy types and helpers that
`codex-exec-server` needs now live in `codex-protocol` instead of
flowing through `codex-config`.

This also makes the migrated loader tests more deterministic on machines
that already have managed or system Codex config installed by letting
tests override the system config and requirements paths instead of
reading the host's `/etc/codex`.

## What Changed

- moved the config loader implementation from `codex-core` into
`codex-config::loader` and deleted the old `core::config_loader` module
instead of leaving a compatibility shim
- moved shell-environment policy types and helpers into
`codex-protocol`, then updated `codex-exec-server` and other downstream
crates to import them from their new home
- updated downstream callers to use loader/config APIs from
`codex-config`
- added test-only loader overrides for system config and requirements
paths so loader-focused tests do not depend on host-managed config state
- cleaned up now-unused dependency entries and platform-specific cfgs
that were surfaced by post-push CI

## Testing

- `cargo test -p codex-config`
- `cargo test -p codex-core config_loader_tests::`
- `cargo test -p codex-protocol -p codex-exec-server -p
codex-cloud-requirements -p codex-rmcp-client --lib`
- `cargo test --lib -p codex-app-server-client -p codex-exec`
- `cargo test --no-run --lib -p codex-app-server`
- `cargo test -p codex-linux-sandbox --lib`
- `cargo shear`
- `just bazel-lock-check`

## Notes

- I did not chase unrelated full-suite failures outside the migrated
loader surface.
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib` still hits unrelated proxy-sensitive
failures on this machine, and Windows CI still shows unrelated
long-running/timeouting test noise outside the loader migration itself.

1132ef887c Make MCP resource read threadless (#18292)
## Summary

Making thread id optional so that we can better cache resources for MCPs
for connectors since their resource templates is universal and not
particular to projects.

- Make `mcpServer/resource/read` accept an optional `threadId`
- Read resources from the current MCP config when no thread is supplied
- Keep the existing thread-scoped path when `threadId` is present
- Update the generated schemas, README, and integration coverage

## Testing
- `just write-app-server-schema`
- `just fmt`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server-protocol`
- `cargo test -p codex-mcp`
- `cargo test -p codex-app-server --test all mcp_resource`
- `just fix -p codex-mcp`

7b994100b3 Add session config loader interface (#18208)
## Why

Cloud-hosted sessions need a way for the service that starts or manages
a thread to provide session-owned config without treating all config as
if it came from the same user/project/workspace TOML stack.

The important boundary is ownership: some values should be controlled by
the session/orchestrator, some by the authenticated user, and later some
may come from the executor. The earlier broad config-store shape made
that boundary too fuzzy and overlapped heavily with the existing
filesystem-backed config loader. This PR starts with the smaller piece
we need now: a typed session config loader that can feed the existing
config layer stack while preserving the normal precedence and merge
behavior.

## What Changed

- Added `ThreadConfigLoader` and related typed payloads in
`codex-config`.
- `SessionThreadConfig` currently supports `model_provider`,
`model_providers`, and feature flags.
- `UserThreadConfig` is present as an ownership boundary, but does not
yet add TOML-backed fields.
- `NoopThreadConfigLoader` preserves existing behavior when no external
loader is configured.
  - `StaticThreadConfigLoader` supports tests and simple callers.

- Taught thread config sources to produce ordinary `ConfigLayerEntry`
values so the existing `ConfigLayerStack` remains the place where
precedence and merging happen.

- Wired the loader through `ConfigBuilder`, the config loader, and
app-server startup paths so app-server can provide session-owned config
before deriving a thread config.

- Added coverage for:
  - translating typed thread config into config layers,
- inserting thread config layers into the stack at the right precedence,
- applying session-provided model provider and feature settings when
app-server derives config from thread params.

## Follow-Ups

This intentionally stops short of adding the remote/service transport.
The next pieces are expected to be:

1. Define the proto/API shape for this interface.
2. Add a client implementation that can source session config from the
service side.

## Verification

- Added unit coverage in `codex-config` for the loader and layer
conversion.
- Added `codex-core` config loader coverage for thread config layer
precedence.
- Added app-server coverage that verifies session thread config wins
over request-provided config for model provider and feature settings.
